I checked directly from Google’s Program Policies. According to them, they may delete your account if you don’t sign in for last nine months. Here is what they have to say:

Account Inactivity

Google may terminate your account in accordance with the terms of service if you fail to log in to your account for a period of nine months.

But don’t neglect it too much. If you lose your account you can’t register with the same username. Google does this to protect the privacy of the previous owner of the account. Anyways if you don’t use your Google account for nine long months, then I don’t think you will need it anytime soon

Anyways, few months back I discovered that I forgot my Yahoo Messenger password as I was always using stored password feature of YM! And the worst thing, I had no clue about the secret questions I had answered while creating the account. So I was in danger of loosing my contact list, though it was not that important

So I sat back and kept using the stored YM username and password. But few days back I had some time and I thought why not try to recover the password behind the asterisks. And I had to do extensive Google search. But at last I found out a free software utility that reveals the hidden password behind the asterisks. This Asterisk Key software works for both web pages and dialog boxes. So you just need to keep your Yahoo Messenger window open without logging in and then run this program. It will show you the password in the software console. And it’s tiny in size, just less than 500 KB.

I just kept playing for hours to see my name in Hall of Fame after beating the adversary. So if you want to renew the experience in your latest Windows just go to the site and download Death Rally.If you are a new one who want to try, don’t forget to race with weapons and don’t stop unless you see your name in Hall of Fame in level “I got petrol in my veins”. It’s simply too good

Anyways, if you are here following this link on how to play this Dos game in Windows 7, I assume you are already familiar with it. Dangerous Dave is freeware and the game zipped file is only around 90 kb. So today I thought of giving it a try after a long time. I downloaded Dangerous Dave file and unzipped it. But I couldn’t make it run in my Windows 7 machine. It showed some error like:

16 bit MS-DOS Sub system
This system does not support fullscreen mode. Choose ‘close’ to terminate the
application.

But a little bit of Google searching really helped. To run this kind of old Games you need to have DosBox that can emulate the plain old Dos in your new Windows system. Go to http://www.dosbox.com/download.php?main=1 and download the first link of DOSBox (Version 0.74). Don’t worry. It’s only around 1.5 mb and won’t take your system resources

Now install it and open DosBox 0.74.

Suppose your game folder is C:\dave . So you need to mount Drive C with C:\dave\ as contents. For this, type the following command: Z:\> MOUNT C C:\dave

It will show message like “Drive C is mounted as local directory C:\dave\“.

Then go to C drive: Z:\> C:

Now use the following command: C:\> dave

The game will start. To make it full screen use Alt + Enter . When you want to quit Dos Box after playing Dangerous Dave, just type: C:\> exit

Now play and enjoy

But the issue is  that sometimes VLC media player can’t play these mkv files. And even when it can it will only play the main episode file without adding the opening and ending songs. This is because VLC can’t recognize this ordered chapters format. Now here is the solution. You will need to download and install Combined Community Codec Pack. It’s completely free. Now after you install CCCP, you can go to CCCP Settings from start menu. There on the settings window click Next and you will see Haali Media Splitter options like in the above screenshot. Just make sure the video format MKV is checked. Now try to play the episodes using Windows Media Player Classic that comes up with this Combined Community Codec Pack. Now you can enjoy the whole anime episode with opening and ending themes seamlessly.

And one more thing, after you install this pack you can play normal MKV files using your Windows Media Player too. So there is another reason to install this free media codec pack

So Pac-man needs no introduction. I will come straight to the point. If you don’t know what Pacman is, don’t bother to read this post This is only for avid Pacman fans. I have played several versions of Pac-man whether it is Namco original or other distributions. Several years back I got interested in little Dos games and used to search and try different of those games. At that time I tried lots of Dos versions of Pac-man that were available. But nothing amazed me like the flash-based Pac-man created by Neave. Now you can ask what can make such a difference to me in a simple Pacman game. That’s true. There’s not much you can change in a Pac-man. It’s plain and simple. And that’s the beauty about it. But the UI of Neave Pac-man was so elegant that your playing experience almost become seamless. You have to play it to know it

But the thing is due to some copyright complaint by Namco, Neave removed the game from his site. And I can’t upload it here as it was not recommended by Neave himself. I tweeted him about whether I can share the file that I have in my computer with all you guys. But he advised against it. So I am not going to upload it here. You can do a Google search and I am pretty sure with a little bit of work you will find it. There are two versions available online, one that can store High Scores and one that can’t. Try finding out the one that can store High Scores. It’s like a complete package And size of the file is also minimal around 850 KB.

And that’s why I didn’t want to write this post at first as I can’t upload the Neave Pac-man file. You need to do a bit of work if you don’t have Neave Pac-Man yet
